It's interesting that Axel Alonso is stating that Tony Stark's story throughout Avengers vs X-Men will be the one to focus on. He's been dead to me since Civil War.

I'm interested to see what they'll do with The First X-Men, I hope it'll at least be an interesting read. Possible Team-X story?

The art for Juggernaut Colossus vs. The Thing and Magik vs. Black Canary looks really good.

Secret Avengers looks really good too, looks like AvX: VS Thor vs. Captain Marvel.

Not sure I like the colors on that Dodson page, but maybe they'll look brighter in print.

The ridiculous moon-cleavage is mildly eyerolling too, but it's asexpected.jpg for Dodson.

Nowhere is it more evident Marvel Comics have just become X-Men and Avengers Comics than here every friday. It's all this guy has spoke about for the last ten weeks or more.

Marvel Comics is truly in a sorry state. Creativity and vision are now practically non existent with them relying on other forms of media to mould the MU to bring in new readers that seriously just aren't coming.

It's not, though. There are plenty of artists who draw her costume so that it shows minimal/no cleavage (including the artists of every book she's regularly appearing in right now?), and the tendency to draw her costume unzipped is a relatively recent phenomenon. I mean, it's certainly not the original John Romita design, just a bad revision some artists made when the comics got more cheesecakey. There's also a question of degree— the film has her costume unzipped a little bit but not to the point you're getting cleavage.

The fact that it's on the moon and Natasha has no powers makes that amount of skin even more ridiculous/suspension of disbelief straining. It looks cold! I get that you're not bothered by the same things I'm bothered by, and that's okay, suspension of disbelief is an individual thing. I have boobs, and it's really uncomfortable for me to run around and be athletic without having proper support, that might have something to do with it.
